Ipswich Town scored a 2–1 win over Sunderland during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was played at Portman Road on Saturday, 22 August 2026. Ipswich had returned to the Premier League after a one-year absence, while Sunderland were also competing in the top flight as one of the promoted clubs.
Ipswich’s victory meant that two promoted teams won on the opening weekend: Ipswich defeated Sunderland 2–1, and Hull City beat Manchester United 2–0. Coventry City, the third promoted club, lost 3–0 to Arsenal.
The result is sometimes mixed up with Manchester City’s 2–1 win over Bournemouth, another Saturday-to-Monday opening-round scoreline. Ipswich’s match was played on Saturday and featured two promoted clubs rather than an established Premier League side.
